Chowder: Volume 1

This animated TV series is amazing! Great characters, script & humour. I just wish they released them over here (R1 is only suitable for muilti-region players in the UK). There are 5 episodes, which is 10 stories in all. They're short & sweet, much like Chowder himself, but ingeniously written. Whether you're young or old, or in between (like me), and you like a good laugh, a bit of dry & witty humour, then this is for you. If you've seen this wacky show on Sky, then you know what to expect. I just wish they had made more episodes, but it's probably better to stop when it's good then run out of ideas.

Arrived quickly. Very pleased with item. Lets hope recipient is also!

my son loves this on sky so got this for him. brilliant gift for him its really cheered him up

Took quite some time for the DVD to be delivered, so if you are buying this item for a younger person as I did prepare yourself for the bombardment of being repeatedly asked where the Chowder DVD is and when it will be getting here. Other than that though, exactly what it says on the tin. My only wish would be that there were more episodes.

My grandkids lived it!

Another dvd for my collection

I stumbled upon this cartoon because I was in the same room as my sister when she was watching it. At first glance, I thought it was like any other poorly thought out cartoon, but I got hooked on the story and continued to watch. Chowder is definately one of the most creative cartoons I've ever watched. The creators are truly talented. The stories are actually original!! The anamation styles used vary in an interesting blend. The fantasy element of the show is catchy; there's so many crazy people and foods that exist in their world. The humor is everything you could want from a cartoon, its sophisticated and childish at the same time. I appreciate some of the vulgar cartoons out there, don't get me wrong. But Chowder is like a breath of fresh air. It's clean, wholesome comedy that parents could watch with their kids, and actually enjoy watching it. My sister and I are both in our twenties and we both love the show. At the same time there are so many things about Chowder that would captivate kids; its very imaginative. I haven't met anyone who's watched this show and not liked it, so to anyone considering buying this DVD, I fully recommend it. It is well worth the $10.

Chowder is really one of the greatest things to come along on Cartoon Network since Dexters Lab. It has a different and highly creative art style that is absolutly gorgeous. Not to mention that the show itself is hilarious and fresh. I already have both seasons downloaded through Zune, but buying the DVD's was a no brainer as soon as I heard about the widescreen format. It seems trivial but the full widescreen picture, which the show is originally made for, makes quite a difference even from the intro and you get to see all the beautiful lighting on the inner sides of the oven that you couldnt see before. Also, the picture quality itself is improved drastically over digital downloads, no more digital artifacts blurring up the screen during Chowders many random food transitions or fast sequences. The dvd looks amazing and crisp even on my 1080p TV being played off an xbox360. My only gripe is that you only get a few episodes per DVD, and the next installment isn't even due for another few months yet cruddy shows like Bakkugan are already on their 3rd dvd. Come on, CN don't hold out on us!

My daughter loves this crazy kitty/raccoon and his crazy antics. Was overjoyed to find it and we watch it all the time!
